Chapter 424 Battle for the Meilan River
The Adams Empire is ready to take advantage of the civil strife of the Northern Holy Empire these days. A large army was gathered to occupy the west of the Meilan River of the Northern Holy Empire, and then, under the command of General Cyril, cross the Meilan River and enter the hinterland of the Northern Holy Empire.
However, just after crossing the river, the army commanded by Cyril, who gathered on the east bank of the Meilan River, could not continue to move forward, and found that they were already surrounded by their opponents.
Before Cyril could react, the already ready puppet army began to attack crazily, taking neat steps, holding the light blue King Sophiax flag, flattening the long gun, and killing the frightened Adams army densely.
The puppet soldiers of one phalanx after another held their shields and slowly approached the defense line of Adams' army, risking dense crossbows and bows and arrows, hitting the phalanx of Adams' army one after another.
The puppet was full of feather arrows, but it was still attacking desperately. It waved the long sword or axe in his hand and rushed into the middle of the phalanx of Adams' army. It was left and right to kill. No one could stop it. Finally, the soldiers dared to tear down the puppet with long guns and stopped moving, but they found that there were more puppets. Rushed to the front of the eyes.
The surrounding casualties are getting worse and worse, but the puppet soldiers of the Sophia Empire are still fighting one phalanx after another, and the reserve troops extend to the distant sky, as if there is no end.
In order to deal with the 300,000 troops under General Cyril, who Adams gathered on the west bank of the Meilan River to take advantage of the "North Holy Empire civil strife" to make some benefits, the Sophiax Empire dispatched 1.4 million troops, and the two sides were not at the same order of magnitude.
Although the puppets are slow to move and the action is single-board, these puppets win in large numbers and are not afraid of pain and death. The most important thing is that they have enough magic cannons.
"Spearing Kasles! Order him to defend the line of defense! Keep it!" General Cyril grabbed the collar of the messenger and roared loudly: "I have no reinforcements for him! God knows why there are so many desperate puppets in the Sofia Empire! I'm also under a lot of pressure!"
Before the words landed, his position was hit by smoke and flesh and blood. Cyril stared at the scene in front of him, desperately loosened his hand holding the leader of the messenger, and muttered in a daze, "Why, why do they have so many magic cannons?"
"Big, my lord! Right wing, right wing collapsed!" A soldier rolled and crawled to his side in panic, knelt at Cyril's feet, crying and mourning.
"What?" Cyril pulled up the man's collar in horror and pulled up the soldier who came to report.
When several people were shouting in the command of the Chinese army, countless puppets had crossed the first line of defense of the Chinese army and crushed them towards the second line of defense.
The whole position was in a mess, leaving almost no complete body. The puppets did not know how to kill tiredly and destroyed everything they encountered. The attack of the puppet army holding high guns regardless of casualties made the Adams defenders completely collapse.
How can there be such a force? It has been fragmented but still climbs towards the opponent. Even if the forward force loses half, it still has no idea of retreating. Even if it fights to the last puppet, it will never retreat. Such an army is crazy! Everyone thinks so.
What's more terrible is that these puppets do not accept prisoners at all, but kill all the opponents they can find. Whether you hold your hands or carry a white flag, as long as they are Adams' soldiers, they will immediately add an axe and die without a whole body.
A magic cannon fell around the tent of the Chinese army, stirring up a piece of dust and returning Cyrilla, who was still scolding, to the cruel reality. He had to remember again that his army was being attacked and fiercely attacked by his opponents.
"mobilize the reserve team! Fight back! Take back the first line of defense!" Cyril ordered loudly.
"General, but what about our right wing?" A general asked worriedly.
Cyril looked at him angrily: "The right wing is over! We don't want the right-wing troops! The Chinese army counterattacked! Cavalry! Fight back!" He shouted hysterically.
The order was soon issued, and Adams' cavalry troops made slight preparations and launched a counterattack on the whole line. They were ordered to charge the puppet troops, defeat the opponent's troops, and divide and encircle the enemy if possible and annihilate them.
This is definitely a natural order. After receiving such an order, the cavalry commanders on the front line were full of tears and laughing. They were able to fight back, but it was lucky that this counterattack could repel the opponent's attack, and they also asked to annihilate the opponent? Are you kidding?
However, out of the military's vocation and the support for the limited order to counterattack, these cavalry generals still launched their own troops to attack.
This counterattack fell into an embarrassing situation from the beginning, because Adams' cavalry only took some advantage in the first ten minutes, tore off many puppet phalanxes and destroy many puppet soldiers at the speed of impact formations and cavalry, but gradually, these cavalry found themselves trapped in Surrounded by the other party.
Lost the speed advantage and surrounded by the superior opponents, these cavalry soon became the target of magic cannons, supporting bitterly like a leaf that could overturn at any time in the ocean of endless puppet armies.
Looking at his last support, tens of thousands of cavalry troops were trapped in the distance by the other side, and his troops really had no strength to rescue. Cyril finally understood that this attack was no different from suicide, and he had to start thinking about retreating.
Obviously, someone thought of this problem earlier than him. The commander of the left wing began to take the troops away by boat and left the Chinese army on the other side of the river.
At this moment, the Chinese army had been surrounded by three sides, and the reserve cavalry had also been wiped out by the puppet at this time. Poor Cyril was escorted into a big ship by a group of cronies, with dozens of friendly guards, and fled back to Adams in a panic.
In the face of such an opponent, Adams, the only remaining Chinese army to attack across the river, finally used up the last bit of courage and retreated to the river crazily, rushing to squeeze into the ferry.
The soldiers who got on the boat first urged to leave the boat quickly, and then the soldiers who got on the boat begged not to leave them. Countless people were squeezed down the river and climbed up on the side of the boat, but pulled the boat that was already seriously overloaded by the river.
The soldiers on the boat who saw this scene immediately pulled out their sword and began to cut off their arms hanging on the side of their boats for fear that their boats would be sunk. While cutting, they were squeezed off the side of the boat and fell into the river.
The scene was chaotic, and less than 70,000 Adams' army finally escaped from the river, and the 300,000 troops commanded by General Cyril were confusedly thrown on the east bank of the Meilan River.
